The Kansas City Chiefs will owe star defensive lineman Chris Jones a hefty incentive after he secured his tenth sack of the 2023 regular season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18.
Jones held out from training camp and missed the Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions in an effort to negotiate a better contract with Kansas City.
In the end, he got a contract incentive that would grant a $1.25 million bonus if he eclipsed the 10-sack mark on the season. He entered the Chiefs’ Week 18 matchup against Los Angeles with 9.5 sacks and managed to reach his goal late in the third quarter of Sunday’s game when he took down Chargers quarterback Easton Stick.

After this marvelous play, it is unlikely that Jones will see any more action in Week 18 as the Chiefs coaching staff looks to rest its starters ahead of the AFC playoffs.
Twitter exploded when Jones took Stick to the turf, and users on the beleaguered social media site weren’t shy in sharing their thoughts on the defensive lineman’s achievement.
